GHUMAMA has yet to confirm debut promise, but has had excuses both starts since, and she's taken to get back on track, with the step back down to 7f very much in her favour. Copper Queen has improved with each run and should be thereabouts, while Secret Haunt looks the pick of 3 William Haggas newcomers.
